BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
The Old Man Mountain Elkhorn is an aluminum cargo rack that mounts front or rear and supports up to 25lb. It comes in two sizes: short or tall (for wider tires). Reviewers praise the rack’s durability, sturdiness over rough terrain, and versatility. Three-pack mounts and basket compatibility add functionality, but the rack doesn’t work with full-size pannier bags. Some find assembly tedious, and the rack must be disassembled to remove a wheel. Overall, experts think the Elkhorn’s high quality merits the elevated price, recommending it as a long-term investment for those who need a light-duty cargo rack.Expert Reviews
